Four Winds Casino New Buffalo, the largest of the three-casino group owned by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, remains open. It is much larger and better equipped to serve patrons than its smaller sister locations.

FireKeepers Casino Hotel near Battle Creek remains open but two of its in-house restaurants will be closed until the inclement weather passes and customer traffic picks up. Its management is encouraging
staffers who have to drive long distances
or who have special needs to stay home.

Closed will be Amazen Blazen which serves grab-and-go food items such as
bagels, sandwiches and coffee, and Chi Mon-ee's, a food court that serves such
things as deli sandwiches, hamburgers and specialty pizzas. LaFrance said they
are smaller-volume eateries whose offerings can be offset by those of the
property's five other eateries.

"We experience the same thing as anyone else does," LaFance said of casinos and inclement weather. Business is down because people stay home. He said, "Everybody is
trying to be safe."

Four Winds Casino New Buffalo, which opened in 2007, has a 415-room
hotel as well as more than 3,000 slot machines, a
1,500-seat multiple-use events center and a Hard Rock Café.

Four Winds Hartford is 52,000 square feet. It opened in 2011 and has about 580 slot
machines and nine gaming tables. Four Winds Dowagiac is about 27,000 square feet and opened April 30.

2,900 slot machines, 70 table games, and as of Dec. 12, 2012, an eight-story, 242-room hotel.
